Bought another one!

[foamypirate]

Picked up another square to be my work truck while restore my 87'.

It's kind of a weird truck, too, 1984 C10 Silverado, fully loaded, with a straight six. Can't say I've seen too many straight six, fully loaded trucks. It will never be desireable, per se, but it is rare!

Got it for $700, 2 owner (second owner was the original owner's grand daughter) with what I assume to be a cracked head on the 250. It will fire up, but it just POURS coolant out the side of the block. I'd really like to fix the straight six, since I've always loved them. I don't need a hotrod or anything, and this truck is still pretty much all original (except the interior now...which I did).

The paint should shine up pretty nice, and I've already swapped wheels and tires, along with the seat and carpet from my old truck into it to clean up the interior. Also replaced the door bushings with some PEX tubing I had laying around, so they shut a lot nicer now! I do need to replace the wing window on the passenger side, since it's broken. Might just steal it from my 87's doors.

Just unloaded her in this pic:



Interior was fairly rough, but not too bad overall. Probably going to put some LMC panels, these ones are dry and crumbly on the top:


New wheels/tires:


Put the carpet from my 87' R10 into it:



Aaand done!



Here is what the side of the engine block looked like after running for about 5-10 seconds...
